Coke is IT!
Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (Charlotte, NC), one of the nation's largest distributors of Coca-Cola products, has selected Optika’s eMedia for its accounts payable department.
The bottler will apply eMedia, a tool for managing both paper and electronic transaction information by integrating imaging, document management, workflow and COLD applications with a Web-based architecture, to out-of-tolerance transactions specifically and improving productivity, efficiency and customer support in general.
"We expect to see significant return on investment as Optika eMedia will allow us to increase productivity and reduce the costs associated with the cumbersome 'paper-chase' typically found in A/P departments," said Wally Penilla, manager of business process design for Coca-Cola consolidated.
The company said it expects the solution to efficiently integrate and streamline the management of both paper and electronic transactions.
Penilla added that key differentiators in the selection of the product were its user friendliness and ease of integration.
The integrator for the deal is IKON Office Solutions-DTI . Coca-Cola Consolidated and integrator IKON Office Solutions-DTI will begin working on the install at the end of the month, with the solution being operational by end of October.
"We compared a number of products to meet Coca-Cola Consolidated's needs," said Bob George, sales manager at IKON Office Solutions-DTI. "Optika eMedia's imaging, document management, workflow and COLD capabilities, joined with its user-defined galleries, Web capabilities, scaleable architecture and easy integration, made it the clear choice."
